Aspiring Athlete Michael Andrew

Dakota Life - 10/07/2010

10-year-old Michael Andrew of Aberdeen has set six national age group records and now owns every South Dakota individual short-course mark in the 9-10 division. Michael dreams of the Olympics but the dream is not his alone. Michael's father - a native of South Africa and a gifted swimmer in his own right - might have made his own mark as a competitive swimmer but for the political turmoil at the end of apartheid.
